8. Onboarding Process – main features and things necessary to be take into consideration
Demand Management Process is designed to deal with requests which are not clear vision how particular requirements and goals should be achieved. If Customer wants to host his app on SP farm then Onboarding Process can be started instead of Demand Management. During Onboarding Process commercial offer will be prepared also.
ABB Collaboration Team prefer to be involved in the new project as early as possible to be able to:
actively contribute to the success of the project from the beginning and ease the deployment and operations of your application in the common hosted platform
avoid situation when crucial decisions about technical design are taken without appropriate consulting with ABB Collaboration specialists (in that case new application can be rejected).
Onboarding Process consists of following major activities: Request for Hosting, Onboarding Site creation, Feasibility Chech-point, Commercial Offer preparation, Architecture Review, Code Review, Deployments (on Test or Production env.)
Application without iGAR number cannot be deployed on any SP environment.
Commercial Offer must be accepted before the application can be deployed on SP farms
ABACUS code must be delivered by Customer before production launch. Without this information (necessary in settlement process) application won’t be installed on production.

9. Onboarding Process – taking decision (SP farm is the right place for particular app or not)
For demand management activities (buy brand-new solution, custom application creation, new application hosting) Collaboration Team will help customer to define target domain for application in following way:
If ABB Collaboration Team decides that Collaboration domain is the right choice for particular application, Customer can and ask EA Team to create iGAR number. Customer is responsible for iGAR creation process and cooperation with EA team, iGAR number must be delivered by Customer in order to start demand processing (hosting or development),
If ABB Collaboration Team decides that application is targeted to non-Collaboration domain or to new domain (Share Point farm is not the right place for particular application) then EA Team needs to be involved. Customer must contact with EA Team on their own and try to finalize arrangements and decision process: what is the right direction to follow, which platform is the right choice. Please note: ABB Collaboration Team will not act as middleman or proxy between EA team and Customer, Customer is responsible for carrying all required arrangements and correspondence in order to clarify all issues related to their demand.
